KEY MATCHUP Turkoglu vs. Granger Granger is Indiana's most potent offensive weapon and while the Pacers present some odd matchups, someone's going to have to corral him and it'll likely be Turkoglu's job most of the time.

CLEVELAND 114, GOLDEN STATE 108: LeBron James had 31 points and 12 assists and J.J. Hickson added a career-high 21 points as the host Cavaliers held off a gutsy effort by the shorthanded Warriors on Tuesday night.

Carmelo Anthony scored 32 points and reserve J.R. Smith had 29, leading the Denver Nuggets past the Toronto Raptors 130-112 last night.

That was a killer game against the Suns. Like tennis, this is a game of inches. Had Hedo nailed that shot at the buzzer, the Raptors would have been 2-0 on this four game Western swing, 6-4 on the season, and heading into Denver on a three game winning streak.

There will probably be some mixing and matching with Bosh, Bargnani vs. Camby, Kaman but it could be interesting.

The 2009-10 NBA season starts tonight for the Toronto Raptors , but the organization - specifically Bryan Colangelo and - is already looking to its future.

Antonio Daniels cleared waivers Tuesday. Whether or not his next stop is in a Cavaliers uniform should be known soon.

First off, a big welcome to all the new readers who found Hoops Addict thanks to the new microphone flag I used.

It's one game. Jose Calderon, the Raptors point guard, said it again and again and again Wednesday night.

Jose Calderon and the Raptors open the season Wednesday. Nine new players and less than a month together a ' but ready or not, the regular season is upon the Toronto Raptors.

Monday, October 26, 2009 11:28 AM Almost time for tip-off Michael Grange I t's getting to that time, isn't it? I'm definitely excited about Wednesday night.

Perhaps the biggest beneficiary of Antoine Wright's unfortunate incident in the Raven's gym during training camp has been Sonny Weems.A As Wright sits resting a bruised knee, Weems has been showing that he's the most deserving shooting guard when it comes to minutes this preseason.

Can you smell it? I can, it's training camp and it's just around the corner. It's the time when wins and losses are seen as meaningless with much more weight given to team cohesion, practices, conditioning and such.

The Cavaliers must find a way to make teams pay for not guarding Anderson Varejao.

Economic problems have forced Heat president Pat Riley, coach Erik Spoelstra and several members of the team's front-office to take pay cuts entering the season.

Safe to say we were pathetic at this last year. I remember doing game recaps and checking out box scores to find that Jamario Moon and Anthony Parker were being outscored by 60-90% on any given night.

I once again have to hand it to Danny Ferry; he didn't screw too much with a good thing.

While opening night is still two months away, Raptors fans can't help but look ahead in anticipation at what could be one of the finest Raptors squads assembled.

If you're going to talk about the Cavs' offseason without even mentioning guys like Anthony Parker and Jamario Moon, then don't even talk at all.
